Leviticus 13:59 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:59

This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy
The rules by which it was to be judged of; whether or no it was in a garment of woollen, or linen, either the warp or woof, or any
thing of skins;
which include everything in which this sort of leprosy was: to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean;
either to declare it free from the plague of the leprosy, or as infected with it, and so accordingly dispose of it.

Leviticus 13:59 In-Context

57 If it appears again in the garment, in warp or woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading; you shall burn with fire that in which the disease appears.
58 But the cloth, warp or woof, or anything of skin from which the disease disappears when you have washed it, shall then be washed a second time, and it shall be clean.
59 This is the ritual for a leprous disease in a cloth of wool or linen, either in warp or woof, or in anything of skin, to decide whether it is clean or unclean.
